Once upon a time <\/span>
there was a wise biker <\/span>
named Samuel<\/span>
he wrote the following….<\/span><\/p>\n

FAMILY!!<\/span><\/p>\n

We are merely guests aboard this train called life. <\/span>
And, <\/span>
since we didn’t purchase the tickets, <\/span>
we have no knowledge or fore warning <\/span>
of just when our station will appear <\/span>
and our ride will end. <\/span>
<\/span>
All we can do is enjoy the ride, <\/span>
and if there are bumps along the way, <\/span>
just hope that the shock absorbers work. <\/span>
And if they don’t,<\/span>
try to land on your feet, <\/span>
for it helps smooth out the rough spots on this road called life. <\/span>
<\/span>
No matter how rough today might have been, <\/span>
go to bed each night knowing that you gave it your best, <\/span>
and tomorrow is a new beginning, <\/span>
with a complete new set of rules and rewards. <\/span>
<\/span>
And, <\/span>
if you live each and every day <\/span>
the very best way that you know how,<\/span>
if, <\/span>
in all your endeavors, <\/span>
you gave all there was to give, <\/span>
in every way that you knew how, <\/span>
then no man, <\/span>
nor any God can dare pass judgement upon you, <\/span>
nor condemn you if it wasn’t enough. <\/span>
<\/span>
For by doing your very best, <\/span>
you,<\/span>
my friend, <\/span>
will have paid your dues in full.<\/span>
<\/span>
Samuel passed away recently after a lengthy battle with cancer<\/span>
but he will forever be remembered <\/span>
for his wit<\/span>
his humor <\/span>
and his grace under pressure<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
